Title: #738: restore: restart gssproxy after restore

frozencemetery commented:
"""
The systemd-portable way to do this is as I understand it is `systemctl try-reload-or-restart gssproxy` (unless you want to start it if it's not running, at which point you'd do `systemctl reload-or-restart gssproxy`).  Then you're not dependent on how the distro maintainer decides to handle it (which varies between distros here due to reasons).

That is something of an orthogonal consideration though - digging further into the code, it doesn't look like there's a `reload`-style verb of any kind in the services abstraction layer?  (I see `is_running()` and `restart()`, but no `reload()` in services.py.)  I don't know how you want to address this; whether it makes sense to extend the abstraction, or whether since no one else uses it gssproxy can just be `restart`ed.
